Hello! I am Mary Mulvihill. I am an artist and teach art. I live in Temecula, California. Art is a part of my day, everyday. I look, I see. I paint, I write. Art gives meaning to what I experience. This blog is about my thoughts on the process of painting. I also post information useful to my students.

Peter Wileman

I've discovered a new landscape artist, Peter Wileman. The links below are to the video promos for his two videos. They are short but he says some true things. (Things I say!)

Wileman's book is "Painting Light in Oil". He works the design process and pays attention to the abstract composition behind the painting. The bold shapes are reminiscent of Colley Whisson and the subject matter and light are reminiscent of David Curtis. Curtis focuses more on the envelope of light, or atmosphere. The abstract focus of Wileman's paintings give them a very contemporary feel while still being representational. The pictures below click up to a larger size.
